Deluxe limited two CD edition featuring the album in electric and acoustic versions. Gatefold jacket with 30-page booklet insert featuring Gord's handwritten lyrics and liner essay by Ben Rayner. Artwork by Clare and Willo Downie. Away Is Mine is Gord Downie's final solo recording, recorded at The Tragically Hip's studio in Bath, Ontario, in July 2017. A questing and idiosyncratic work steered to life by "my oldest Toronto friend," guitarist and co-writer Josh Finlayson, the last ten songs Gord wrote hold fast to his unwavering artistic spirit, deft hand with words and forever inscrutable sense of humour as he locks eyes head-on with the Great Inevitability. Away Is Mine highlights Gord's poetic mastery with vibrant yet haunting production by Nyles Spencer that casts each song in different otherworldly light. Like all of the music and poetry and the memories and the genius that Gord gifted us during his 53 years on our planet, it is immortal - and yet it took a fearless reckoning with his own mortality to get us here.
